A lovely morning here in Kilbowie.  Weather dry but a bit cloudy.  Children all setting out for their first activity of the day.  Please check both P6/7 and P7 blogs as children will probably appear on both!  Photos to follow later we hope!

Kilbowie Day 4 Last Activity Day

Yesterday we got a talk from the animal expert called Derek.  He was really good at telling us about lots of different types of animals, we got to try flapjacks.  Then we got taken out to see if we had caught any mice, then we went to the football pitch and we got to see Derek’s gulls it was amazing to see it.  By Sam

Yesterday we had Safari with Derek. We went into his lab and we saw lots of really big goldfish. Then we went outside and he called his gulls to follow him, it was really cool. After we went to find traps to look for mice, shrews and voles but we had to look out for weasels. There were no animals in the traps so we went to the football pitch to feed the gulls. Derek threw tons of bread around and not all his gulls came..some ravens came too. When we went back to the lab, we got news that Mammoths might be coming back using Asian elephants DNA…very exciting stuff!!

Jack…..Yesterday we had Safari, it was very interesting. Derek is so funny…he showed us a video of an Innuit fishing  and some real mouse traps in the grounds of Kilbowie. There was nothing in the traps ! He showed us some animal bones and animal skins…some of them belonged to red deer. He said that by planting an acorn we could help make an oak tree.

Yesterday was amazing. I did kayaking as our morning activity we went round an island we stop to go on an island there was 4 mountains the 1^st one was small the 2^nd one was bigger the 3^rd one got bigger the 4^th one was the biggest I kept saying to myself. “if I don’t do it I will regret it” I did all of them I was so proud. –Paul

I liked when we were stepping over all the rocks in the water yesterday.  I got soaking wet all the way up to my ribs!  I was the only girl in my group who jumped off the pier into the cold water.  I went underwater for a few seconds then came back up but don’t worry I had my lifejacket on!  The water was a bit cold!

Today I am looking forward to rock climbing as I have never been before.  I enjoyed our indoor activity last night where we had to run around and answer questions.  By Emma C
